01 / For hosts & creators
Experience it first. Then ask.
A personal experience for you. A substantive conversation for your audience. Your questions and your editorial judgement remain entirely yours.
01
Experience it yourself
Before our interview, I offer you a complimentary personal coaching session on a real question of your own. You get to know my work first-hand and bring your own experience to the conversation.
02
Show the work live
I coach you or a guest in your format. We agree on the topic and boundaries beforehand. Your audience follows the questions, decisions and shifts in perspective as they happen.
03
Make it relevant
Business, relationships or personal direction: we choose a question your audience recognises. Concrete examples and clear distinctions give listeners something to reflect on in their own lives.
02 / In 40 seconds
What he actually does.
0103 / Episode ideas
Nine episodes that already have a story behind them.
Not a list of topics. Every angle has a real case, a real career step or a real story behind it. Pick the one that fits your audience.
For business and economics formats
Inside: Why a business problem can sit outside the business: identity, roles, old loyalties.
Inside: What AI won't do for you. Relevance as the scarcest resource: set the frame, choose, check.
For psychology, relationships and leadership
Inside: A couple for whom closeness feels like work. Protection, pressure, closeness, communication. And why closeness didn't need to be manufactured.
Inside: Two contradictory signals, in teams and in families. Why people create exactly what they criticise.
Inside: Not everything that is true is relevant. Intuition is a clue, not proof. And why the retest is the most honest question.
For life stories and long conversations
Inside: In his early twenties in front of executives at an international public company, at 23 lecturing at Mannheim Business School. What you see when you coach powerful people at a young age.
Inside: Freedom lived rather than described. Home, constant change of context and what freedom really costs.
Inside: An honest review across psychology, neuroscience, therapy and communication. And why people don't change even when they know what's wrong.
